Coming into the final round of the Royal Oaks Invitational in Dallas, the No. 14 Kent State men's golf team was struggling. The team was sitting in ninth place at -1 after shooting rounds of 283 and 284 — a far cry from leader Baylor, who finished at -22.
But all changed in the final round, as the Flashes battled strong winds to shoot a 282 in the final round, the second lowest score. That score allowed them to leapfrog Michigan, Pepperdine, UTSA, New Mexico and Liberty.
Bjarki Petursson led the Flashes with a 211 total, good for 12th overall.
